Simple AP setup

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Apology in advance if this has already been covered.

I believe that I’m running 4.02 of the RouterOS, but the only Quick Setup Guide I have access to is for 3.0. The examples that they have in that guide don’t seem to work in my version of the OS. Specifically I get a unexpected end-of-line message when I attempt the following:

/interface wireless set band=2ghz-b

Using Winbox I was able to get around this and I now have both ether1 and wlan1 running. However, now I am stumped. I can create a bridge either in Winbox or the terminal, but I can’t connect ether1 to wlan1. The Quick Setup Guide says that the command is:

/interface bridge port set ether1,wlan1 bridge=wirebridge

However, that gets a syntax error. I don’t see how to do this in WInbox.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give…

The syntax has remained largely the same: http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2.9/interface/bridge.php

In winbox got to the ‘bridge’ menu on the left, you’ll see your previously created bridge (wirebridge) - select the ‘ports’ tab and add the ether1 and wlan1 interfaces, being sure to specify ‘wirebridge’ as the bridge interface.

Cheers.

Thanks. That did the trick
